That's just what I use. There're actually 4 monitors, computers,
mouse/input devices and keyboards, plus 2 printers, a scanner the CD
writer, an external scsi CD reader, a stereo cabinet, 3 computer desks, a
filing cabinet, and more, all in a room large enough to hold 2-3 computers
(max) without too awful much hassle. 

I have one set up for NT Server, which I'm trying to learn (just for
kicks). I found if I dual boot, I never learn the new one, so I have to
deal with being cramped or I'll never learn NT properly (if there really
is such a thing). This isn't something I'm force to do, just something I
wanted to do. It may come in handy (like showing NT bigots that they
really don't know what they're talking about, or being stuck with a farm
of the monsters and having to maintain them).
